Model Hye Park opens up
Posted by RSSnews 156 days ago (http://seoulbeats.com)The 24 year old Korean American has for several years now been breaking the mold as an Asian model for high profile runway shows and major brand campaigns but still not much is known about her as a person. “People’s Inside with Paek Ji Yeon” sat down with Hye Park recently and found out her thoughts on plastic surgery, the model life, and being a young bride.
Highlights:
“There was a period during my early modeling days that my ‘asian’ looking face bothered me to the point that I seriously contemplated plastic surgery. During that time I came across a model in a magazine whose distinct ‘asian’ look was so alluring and powerful that I instantly changed my mind about my insecurities with my own looks. I realized then that you don’t succeed as model by or because of your looks but instead through passion.”
“Incredulously, even though exercising obviously should be a given in the life of a model, I still hate it. It is to the point that my husband (a professional tennis coach) who initially volunteered as my personal trainer, has had to give up on me.”
“My hope is that I can contribute in paving the way for Asian models so that those who come after me will have more doors opened to them.”
The full interview with Hye Park can be seen on the September 6th airing of “People Inside with Paek Ji Yeon”.
